Those Features in depth:

On Access Scanning - Always on, real-time protection against threats

The 'On Access Scanner' scans files for virus infection in real time whenever they are created, opened or copied. (as soon as you interact with a file, Comodo Antivirus checks it)

Such instant detection of viruses assures users that their system is perpetually monitored for threats and enjoys the highest level of protection.

It is highly recommended that you enable the on access monitor to ensure your system remains continually free of infection.

On Demand scanning - run instant scans on any file, folder or drive

When you want to check a file, disk or folder may for possible infection, you can use the On-demand scanning to perform an instant check on the selected object.

On-Demand scanning is also seamlessly integrated into the Windows operating system. Users can scan specific objects 'on the fly' by simply right-clicking on a file, folder or drive and selecting 'Scan with Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta' from the context sensitive menu.

In combination with the On Access monitor, demand scanning enables you to have complete reassurance that any virus resident on your PC will be effectively and comprehensively removed.

Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) Application Control

The new Host Intrusion Prevention Systems enables a user to prevent and stop spyware and malware from ever being installed on their PC. With HIPS activated, the user is warned EVERY time an unknown application executable (.exe) attempts to run. If the application is not found in Comodo's safe list database, the user is immediately alerted and prompted to allow or block this file from running. The user can also submit the application in question to Comodo for analysis and, in the case of a false positive, addition to the safe list. Comodo AntiVirus is continually updated with the latest list of safe files directly from Comodo servers.

Scan Removable Devices

Viruses don't just get onto your computer via email!! Anything that passes information to your computer is a potential source of infection. Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta enables you to check for viruses on any removable storage device attached to your computer, including CD's, DVD's, external hard drives, USB connected drives, digital cameras - even your iPOD!!

Incremental scanning - Sweep your PC for viruses faster than ever before

Users can run faster virus scans by choosing 'Incremental Scan of Safe Files'. An incremental scan will skip over the files that are listed as 'safe' in Comodo's internal safe list. This reduces total scan time and accelerates both the identification and disinfection of corrupted files. It will also greatly enhance system performance on older computers. Incremental scanning is available as an option in both On Demand Scans and On Access scans.

Network drive scanning

Infected files that are located on network folders and mapped drives can affect your PC as severely as locally stored files. Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta will detect any remote drives and scan them for viruses, Trojans and worms. This means complete protection not only from local viruses but any potential threats on a network. Furthermore, Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta can be installed on servers to provide comprehensive, network wide safety for all shared files.

Advanced Heuristic detection Engine - Protects against unknown viruses

Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta employs the latest heuristic techniques to identify previously unknown viruses and Trojans. 'Heuristics' describes the method of analyzing the code of a file to ascertain whether it contains code typical of a virus. If it is found to do so then the application will disinfect the file or recommend it for quarantine.

This is a quantum leap in the battle against malicious scripts and programs as it allows the engine to 'predict' the existence of new viruses- even if it isn't contained in the current virus database.

Process Monitoring - Persistently scans your PC's memory

Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta continually scans memory resident processes for viruses. If you launch a program or file which creates destructive anomalies then the scanner will detect it. You will then be offered the chance to disinfect, delete or block access to the specific object.

Process monitoring begins as soon as you start Windows when Comodo AntiVirus scans system memory and auto-load areas and remains on throughout your entire session.

This 'always on' protection against pernicious RAM based processes means viruses are stopped in their tracks before your entire computer is affected.

Email Scanning - Automatic checking and disinfecting of incoming and outgoing mail

The vast majority of viruses and worms are spread via email. Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta checks every email and email attachment sent or received from your computer. If infections are found, the message is automatically quarantined and the user alerted.

Automatic Daily Updates - Up-to-the second protection against the latest threats

In order to guarantee the relevance of your antivirus software it is imperative that your virus databases are updated as regularly as possible.

Our anti-virus signature database is fully maintained and updated around the clock by a team of dedicated technicians, providing you with total protection from the latest virus outbreaks. Antivirus updates can be downloaded manually or automatically from Comodo's update servers.

Quarantine Facility - Isolate suspicious files so they can do no harm

The quarantine facility removes and isolates suspicious into a safe location before analyzing them for possible infection. Any files transferred in this fashion are encrypted- meaning they cannot be run or executed. This isolation prevents infected files from affecting the rest of your PC. If a file cannot be disinfected then it provides a reliable safe-house until the virus database is updated- neutralizing the impact of any new virus.

Quarantined files are stored using a special format and do not constitute any danger to your computer.

Personal 'Safe List' Profiles - Fast File Integrity Checking - Quicker Scan Times

Comodo AntiVirus ships with huge white-list of safe files called the 'Comodo Safe-List Database'. Each time you run a scan the program compares the signature of your files on your PC with the signature recorded on the safe list. If they don't match, Comodo AntiVirus will alert you to the potential threat. The safe-list database is updated on a daily basis from Comodo servers.

Users can make even faster on-demand and on-access scans by allowing Comodo AntiVirus to profile their system for applications that are on Comodo's safe list database. Once the profiling is finished, Comodo AntiVirus will create a custom 'safe list' database which it will, by default, load into memory and reference when attempting to determine whether a file is safe or not.

In depth Reporting - Comprehensive records of all scans performed.

The results of all actions performed by Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta are documented in extensive but easy to understand reports. A detailed scan report contains statistics of all scanned objects, settings used for each task and the history of actions performed on each individual file. Reports are also generated during real-time protection, and after updating the anti-virus database and application modules.

Scan Scheduling - Timetable scans to run when you choose

Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta features a highly customizable scheduler that lets you timetable scans according to your preferences.

You can choose to run scans at a certain time on a daily, weekly, monthly or custom interval basis. You can also choose which specific files, folders or drives are included in that scan.

Perhaps you wish to check your entire system first thing in the morning; maybe you prefer the middle of the night!! Comodo AntiVirus 2.0 beta gives you the power to choose . allowing you to get on with more important matters with complete peace of mind.

Pro-active virus defense - Submit suspicious files for analysis

After a file has been quarantined because of suspected infection, you have the option to submit the file to Comodo for analysis. Who knows? - You may be the first victim of a new Trojan or worm!!

After sending the file to us, our emergency response team will determine whether it contains harmful code and take immediate action to nullify it. Additionally, files which are not found in the internal safe-list can be queued for automatic submission to the Comodo Digital Trust Lab for analysis.

The submit function plays an important role in our coordinated strategy to combat zero-hour virus outbreaks
